>You are Anon, living in equestria, working on Aj's farm to earn your living money.
>You learn from Aj that Apple Bloom has a little crush on you, its super adorbs.
>Aj wants you to play pretend boyfriend, no one wants to see their little sister get her itty bitty heart broken, and shes sure Apple Bloom will be over you in a week.
>Your first 2 'dates' with Apple Bloom have been sucessful as far as pretend dating goes, and despite you insisting you're far too old for her Apple Bloom is stubborn and still considers you two an item.
>I wonder what will happen today.
 
>You sit in the kitchen of your somewhat depressing single bedroom shack at the edge of Ponyville.
>A simple meal of cereal-O's to start the day is what you eat this morning.
>As you finish up your meal you hear a knock at your front door. You rush over to open it, guest were a rare and exciting thing for you. God dam hermit.
>You open the door to see Applejack, looking as pretty as ever.
>"Well howdy there Anon-"
"Today's my day off right?"
>You interrupt, rude, and glance over to your calender hanging on the living room wall.
>"Yeah, I didn't come here to talk about that, I need a favor done Anon." She explains. "Ya ain't busy today are ya?"
"I'm not"
>You really weren't ever busy any day, you had almost nothing going on in your life. How long have you been here again?
>"Okay good, because me and Big Mac are gunna be busy all day ah was wonderin if you could walk Apple Bloom to Z'cora's place. Normally I'd do it but today i'm gunna be too busy, and its a pretty long walk."
>You stroke your chin in thought. You've never been in the Everfree, and you liked the idea of exploring it a little, it was the Apple Bloom bit that put you off.
>Last time she had sneaked a kiss on you, this time she would probably plant a ring on your finger somehow.
 
Do you...
>Agree, anything for Applejack!
>Disagree, not worth the trouble.
>Talk about it some more, find out the details.
>Slam the door on Aj
>Invite Aj inside and show her you're rope and gag collection
>Other
 
A:Talking never hurt anyone
A:Talk some more, what's going down apple horse?
 
Also, anon is starting to sound depressing as fuck, holy shit.
A:talk
 
>You scratch at the back of your neck and sigh, you still weren't sure about all this.
"Uhh what exactly do you need me to do?"
>You ask, at the very least you could get some details here.
>"Its simple Anon, just come to the farm sometime around noon when Apple Bloom gets out of school and walk her to Z'cora's. Ill be able to pick her up afterwards." says Applejack.
"Ehh..."
>"Oh come on Anon, puhlease? I'll be super grateful fer it, and I'll make it worth yer while." She continues, giving you big ole puppy eyes.
"Worth my while eh?"
>You weren't entirely sure what that meant, but is sounded pretty good, especially coming from Applejack.
>So there you have it, pick up the kid, drop her off, get rewarded with... something. Sounds easy enough.
Do you...
 
>Accept
>Decline
>Slam the door is still an options
>So's the ropes and gags.
>Other.
 
A:Eh sure, why not. Can I get something sharp or pointy? I mean, we're going into the Everfree after all.
 
>You agree to do the thing, Applejack thanks you with a nice pat on the hip, since she wasn't nearly tall enough to reach your shoulder.
>You prepare yourself for the day, getting washed and dressed up. You decide to make a quick trip to the market, picking up a hatchet, the Everfree ain't nothing to fuck with after all.
>You actually handle yourself pretty well in the wilderness for a few reasons, mostly because you were a lonely child who invested in things that didn't require companionship.
>Not that it bothered you, you enjoy peace and quiet, part of the reason you love living in Ponyville.
>At noon you make your way to Sweet apple you know the rest, and little Apple Bloom is already waiting for you at the gate.
>"Anon!" She shouts out in glee when she spots you, running forward and jumping up into your arms for a big hug.
"Hey sprout"
>You say while letting her back down. She hops around excitedly, as usual when you were around.
>"Yah ready Anon? Whats the axe for?" She asks, curiously inspecting the hatchet, which you slipped through your belt loop.
"Its a hatchet sprout, just in case something wants to get ugly with us in the forest."
>"Well I feel safer already knowing you'll be here protecting me Anon" She says with a smile as you two walk towards the Everfree.
>You both walk through the lush Everyfree forest, it was big and green and pretty much like any forest you've seen before, maybe a bit darker.
>Apple Bloom hums a little tune while you two walk.
 
Do you...
 
>Make light conversation
>Tell her to hush up with the humming, its annoying.
>Say nothing and just focus on getting to Zecora's pad quickly.
>Do a little exploring.
>"Hey Apple Bloom, come check out this dark secluded cave with me..."
>Other
 
A:Light conversation, why the hell not.
 
Ask what she's been up to at school or with her friends.
 
"Soooo how ya been?"
>You ask as she leads you to Zecora's house, you sure a shit didn't know where it was.
>"Ah've been good Anon, ah got a new bow yesterday, its really shiny, I'ma wear it on picture day" She says
"School?"
>"School's been fine, Diamond Tiara tried to give me some guff during recess today but I wasn't having none of it."
"You'd figure they'd be over it."
>"Well, some girls just don't know how to let things go ah guess."
>Your irony gland nearly exploded.
>Eventually you two find yourselves in front of Zecora's creepy hut. A note was tapped to her door.
>You peel the note off and read it out loud.
"Ahem. Deer Apple Bloom I'm sorry to say I wont be able to teach you today..."
>Jesus christ, she writes in rhymes too?
"...I have gone deep into the Everfree to find a plant i'm in dire need."
>You can feel yourself making a face at the note.
>"Aww..." Apple Bloom moans sadly, her lip quivering, eyes watering. "We walked all this way fer nuthin..."
>Heart...breaking...
 
Do you...
>Comfort her and try to find something else to do while you two are in the Everfree
>Tell her tough shit and walk her back home, thems the breaks.
>Laugh at her, point and laugh, video tape her sadness.
>Break into Zecora's place and take a revenge dump on her stuff.
>Other
 
A:'m sure there is something else to do in the forest.
 
Like explore creepy old castles?
 
 
A:She seems to know the place a little?
 
Hell let her choose.
What would possibly go wrong?!
 
A:Let her decide.
 
"Why don't you decide where we explore sprout"
>You say, Apple Blooms face lighting up with a smile.
>"Ah was hoping you'd say that! Come on, there's this cool thing ah wanna show you." She says.
>She leads you down a dark hallway, and you make an effort to light every torch you see as a way to guide the both of you back.
>After a couple turns and a trip through a few boring mostly empty rooms she leads you into what appears to be a sort of broom closet.
>It was small and mostly empty, a few bare shelves and a broken old broom handle were all that was left.
>She motions for you to come inside with her, and as you do she shuts the door of the room behind you.
"Uhh..."
>You were feeling a little nervous, Apple Bloom had led you into a somewhat cramped closet and has just shut you both in.
>She shimmies past you to the wall opposite to the door, inspecting it carefully she rests a hoof on it before looking back at you with a little smile on her face.
>"Okay, turn the light off!" She squeaks.
 
Do you...
>Turn the light off
>Nope nope, escape now, you can hear the police coming for you already.
>Turn the light off, unzip dick.
>KILL HER BEFORE SHE HAS THE CHANCE TO KILL YOU!
>Other.
 
A:Sure... Turn the light off. She really doesn't seem like the kind of kid to take advantage like that.
A:Click off flaming torch.
ADVENTURE TIME
 
>What could go wrong?-Anon 2014
>You snuff the torch out, everything is now pitch black.
>"Okay, lets see... should be right here!"
>You hear her mumble to herself as the sounds of her hoofs scraping over the wall fill the room.
>She lets out a drawn out grunt, the sound of stone grinding on stone fills your ears.
>Suddenly you hear a CLUNK
>A bright line forms a door shape on the wall, illuminating the room in a soft blue hue.
>It slowly slides downward to reveal another room, a small circular room with a large circle bed like mat taking up most of the floor space.
>Apple Bloom nudges your leg, a grin on her face. "Pretty cool right?"
>She leads you inside, you could see now that the room was dome shaped, the walls etched with long winding blue markings that let out a mysterious blue light, all around the room were candles, some more used then others, and the room held a faint warmth, and the air was surprisingly sweet and fresh.
>Apple Bloom leaps onto the bed/mat thing and lays on her back, looking straight up at the ceiling.
>She pats her hoof to the empty space on the bed next to her.
>You came this far already.
>You lay on the bed next to her, staring up to see what might have been the must beautiful image to ever meet your eyes.
>In the middle of the dome roof was a simple round glass opening, but instead of sky you see the pitch black of night, or what would have been pitch black if it were not for the stars lighting it up.
"Holy sh-"
>"Ah know right?" Apple Bloom cuts you off, not taking her eyes off the image above.
>You both lay there in silence, breathing in the sweet air, marveling at the sky space above.
>You suddenly feel Apple Blooms little hoof in your hand, you turn your gaze to see her still looking into the roof, a small smile on her lips, a faint blush under her eyes.
 
Do you...
 
>Hold her hoof.
>Pull your hand away.
>UNZIP DICK
>Turn the bed into the mother fucking octagon and start whipping some ass.
>Other
 
 
A:Hold Hoof.
 
 
The rumble arena can wait another day.
A:boop her snout
 
>Sure, let her have this at least.
>You wrap your fingers around her hoof, still watching her. Her smile grows wider.
>You both lay in silence for a while more. You wonder what this rooms purpose was, it wasn't a bedroom, not that you could tell.
>You feel Apple Blooms eyes on you now, turning your sight to catch her large eye'd stare.
>You both look at each other for what felt like eternity in this magical room.
>Slowly she moves forward, lips parting ever so slightly, blush deepening...
>>17994340
>and is quickly halted by a single finger, gently placed on her snout.
"..Boop.."
>You whisper. For a while more she stares at you, her face giving no hint to what she was thinking.
>Small tears form in her big watery eyes.
>"..Its not working is it.." She says quietly,
"...I'm sorry"
>You didn't know what else to say. How could you, you've never broken a heart before.
>"Its not fair..." She whispers, pushing her face into your shoulder, her tears seeping through your shirt.
>"Its not fair at all...." she says again.
>You reach your other hand over and stroke her mane.
"I know sprout, I know..."
-------
>Apple Bloom lays against, face still pressed into your shoulder. She had stopped crying a while ago.
>She lifts her face from your shoulder and wipes at her teary face.
>"...sniff.... I thought this... the room.. I thought it would work...I thought here I could finally make you fall in love with me Anon..." She sighs.
>You sit up and reach over, and with a thumb you swipe a tear from her cheek.
"Under different circumstances it would have sprout, believe me."
>she nods, the realization of it all finally setting in.
>"Anon..?" She whispers
"Yes sprout?"
>"...Ah know... it won't matter anymore... Ah know we don't have a chance to be together but..." She looks up at you, her eyes pleading. "Just... just one kiss Anon? Ah want you to be my first kiss, just that at least..."
 
Do you...
>Do this one thing.
>Deny her wish.
 
A:Permission not granted.
A:No
She deserves her first kiss from someone that she loves and also returns her love.
A:No, she's going to find that guy one day, and she deserves to share it with him.
 
>You slowly shake your head at her.
"..No.. no it wouldn't be right..."
>"...Don't you like me enough to-" She starts
"Apple Bloom, I love you, I really do, and its because I love you that I cant do it. A kiss... a first kiss, its a special thing, something you remember forever. Even if you aren't with that pony anymore that kiss still reminds you of the first time you found love, a love you shared with someone.. "
>"But you love me Anon. You said so just now... why wouldn't it work." She asks, her voice begging for answers.
"Its a different love Sprout, its a love that makes me want to keep you safe, a love that told me to make you happy when you felt down, and its that love that makes it hurt to be the one who has to do this to you..."
>You feel the tears build up in your eyes, this sucks.
"I'm sorry Sprout, I can't be the one to kiss where it hurts to make it better, not this time, not for this wound. You'll find that man some day but its not me..."
>She nods and chokes back her sobs, you open your arms to her and she quickly jumps into them, wrapping her forelegs around you in a big tight hug.
>And you both sit there, hugging the pain away, a different pain for the both of you, but a pain none the less
 
>You carry Apple Bloom home on your back. Shes tired, understandably so from all that noise back there.
>"...So why did you put up with all my wooing attempts anyways" She says after a prolonged silence.
"Eh... take a guess."
>"Mah sister?" She grumbles.
"Bingo."
>You were sure Applejack was going to have a few choice words with you for breaking her little sisters heart but for now you couldn't care less. You were too busy thinking of ways to make Apple Bloom feel better.
>"Ah shoulda known. " she continues to grumble.
>At least she wasn't sad anymore, kids bounced back from sadness surprisingly quick.
>You emerge from the Everfree and start making your way to the apple farm, it was still early enough in the day that Aj wouldn't have come to get her sister yet.
>"..Say Anon?"
"Anon..."
>Apple Bloom gives you a soft whack on the head for your stupid joke.
"Yes Sprout?"
>"If.. well...if I don't find somepony to call my own when I get as old as Applejack..." She bounces around the question.
>You roll your eyes and sigh, still smiling.
"You asking me to wait for you sprout? I don't know, i'll probably swimming in mares by then."
>"Ah seriously doubt it Anon..." She mumbles
"Ouch...heh, alright sprout, if you get that old and we're both still single I'll give you another shot"
>You joke, inside you knew she'd be smarter by then, smart enough to know she could do a lot better then you. she deserved better.
>She lets out a satisfied sigh and rests her head into your back.
>"I can wait that long..."
